Seventeen, ILLIT, NewJeans, Stray Kids, and Others Dominate Billboard’s World Albums Chart

K-pop albums continue to dominate the music scene as they claim top spots on Billboard’s World Albums chart. This past week, industry-leading names from HYBE Corporation’s multi-label system, including BTS, Seventeen, and TWICE, maintained their steady top-scoring feats.

Among the standout performers, rookie girl group ILLIT’s debut mini-album, Super Real Me, soared to an all-time high at No. 2 on the chart. Following its digital premiere in March, the group’s physical album release in the US propelled them to new heights, even landing them on the prestigious Billboard 200 for the first time.

Meanwhile, Tomorrow X Together’s latest album, Minisode 3: Tomorrow, held steady on the chart, maintaining its position in the top ranks. Boynextdoor and Le Sserafim also made waves with their mini-albums, securing spots in the top five.

Not to be outdone, veteran groups like Seventeen and BTS continued to impress with their latest releases. Seventeen’s best album compilation, 17 Is Right Here, debuted at No. 7, while BTS’s anthology album, Proof, claimed the 10th spot in its 99th week on the chart.

Non-HYBE groups like TWICE and Stray Kids also made their mark, with TWICE’s With You-th and Stray Kids’ ROCK-STAR albums securing spots in the top 15.

Overall, K-pop’s influence on the global music scene remains undeniable, with fans eagerly anticipating the next chart-topping release from their favorite artists.
